Doesn't that just create a branch of a subset of folders? With your scheme, in order to make my changes appear in the trunk wouldn't I have to merge my branch? I need the trunk to be updated with my changes.
Would the merge be difficult as the directory trees are very different? That seems to be more work than just checking out three subdirectories independently.
